The Sony hacks revealed many salacious e-mails and details about celebrities in the film and music world, however one bit of information is just as enticing without damaging anyone's reputation: an e-mail where director Cameron Crowe lists his 23 favorite albums of all time, including bits from The Rolling Stones, Nirvana and Radiohead.

Everyone knows that the director has a soft spot for rock 'n' roll: Almost Famous was a very loose interpretation of his time interning for Rolling Stone, while Singles mirrored the rise of the grunge movement. If anyone in the film world is able to give us an interesting list of must-listens, it might be Crowe. The odd rankings come from an e-mail to Sony Pictures chair Amy Pascal, although there's no context as to why she asked.

Those expecting new revelations will be disappointed however, as Crowe takes a fairly vanilla approach: There are no repeat bands, and most of his selections are already accepted as classics. As Billboard notes, he doesn't choose any albums post-Radiohead's OK Computer (1997).

If you want to take some scandal from this list, you can argue that he might be in trouble with his ex-wife Nancy Wilson, as he didn't choose any albums from her band Heart. Perhaps this is at the root of their split?
